I'll just have to start my own after party with black jack and hookers.[If you haven't watched Futurama, Bender Rodriguez uses the black jack and hookers part]. I'm serious about the after party, but not the black jack and hookers part fyi

I'm pretty bummed about not being able to go to many of the after parties so I've considered doing this as well. I live not even 10 minutes from the convention center and would love to hang out with some cool people and maybe even show them around Seattle.

Hungry for Gamer food? Want some classy drinks with your fellow nerds? Well check out this year's PAX menu that I've negotiated specially with Tom Douglas' newest restaurant, the Carlisle Room! A special menu of themed food and drinks will be available only if you show your PAX badge. This place is terrific, and the drinks aren't just another goddamn screwdriver renamed "mana potion". This place is top notch. Stop By during PAX!!

(full disclosure: posted here and in the food thread)

Is this through out the weekend or on a specific night?

If you’re in town on Monday evening after the last day of PAX, Harmonix will also be attending the Seattle Rock Band Group’s annual PAX Prime Rock Band After Party. This party is designed by the Rock Band community, FOR theRock Band community! There is no cover and no PAX requirements – if you’re over 21, you can attend. There will be a Battle of the Bands in honor ofRock Band 4’s release, as well as swag, prizes, and song contests! The group will be streaming from the Seattle Rock Band Twitch Channel, or you can watch all of the excitement from our ownHarmonix Twitch Channel! Whether you’re in Seattle for the show or rocking out from home, don’t miss out on this awesome event!

*Come see the staff do something stupid before PAX officially kicks off!
*Event space is 21+, so bring I.D.
*RSVPs here are not required! This is more of a save-the-date thing for your convenience. Note also that an RSVP DOES NOT GUARANTEE ENTRY. If we fill up, we fill up!
*There'll be free food and drinks for everyone who attends.
*The Giant Bomb staff will be talking roughly until 10:30, after which Harmonix will be showing up to show off some of their new Rock Band game! We'll be in the venue until at least 1 AM, so get some sleep the night before!

Hey, we’re having a party the night before PAX starts, and everyone’s invited! Join us in Seattle for a night of food, fun, drinks, and entertaining shenanigans. And best of all: it’s free!

Last year we had a small get-together at PAX, but we felt bad that not everyone could get in, so this year we decided to up the ante a bit and rent a much larger spot at The Parlor Live, an event space in downtown Seattle. There’s room for a few hundred of people to join us as we do something...something wonderful.

Seriously, we don’t have all the details worked out yet, but we can guarantee you a goodly amount of time to ask the staff questions, shake a hand or two, get something signed, and have a drink or five. We’ll hand out drink tickets on the way in, there’ll be plenty of snacks around, and there’ll be plenty of merch if you’re in the mood to buy something (including some stuff you’ve never seen before!).

This is a 21+ venue, so bring an ID with you! Feel free to bring a guest, too: it’s free to come, and you don’t even need to be a Giant Bomb member. Heck, you don’t even need a PAX badge! Even if you’re not going to PAX at all, feel free to come by; the more the merrier.

The show starts around 9, so swing on by around 8:45 to get inside and get a good seat. If you wind up getting to Seattle later that night, feel free to come by anyway! We’ll probably be hanging around until at least midnight, and you’ll be able to come in and have a drink until we shut the venue down.

If you can’t make it out to this show, keep an eye on our Facebook page for more details about other events that are going on this weekend, both in the Parlor and at PAX. Hope to see you there!

After the staff do their thing, we're going to be joined by Harmonix and Rock Band! Bring a few friends, form a band, and compete against other teams for a chance to win dumb stuff!

Here's a list of Indie MEGABOOTH games that will be set up for you to play during any downtime:

Another Friday party - Insert Coin at the Eagle Seattle (314 E Pike St) Friday 8/28 at 10pm. There will be a cover charge (not listed in the Facebook event, but this is a PAX edition of a regular party and it's usually $5-7). Tends to be an LGBT-friendly crowd.

The king of hot-cos-play and everyone's favourite butt!!

*** Music to wake the Elder Gods!!
Adorable nerdling NARK will be pumping out the musics between fatalities, brutalities, and babe-alities, and resident KROT will be there to fill in the bonus rounds and XRAY your dance bones!!

*** MK EXLPOSION!!
ALL the Mortal Kombats you can eat - even YOU, Mileena!! Retro/current/and everything in between!!

Didn't know where else to post this - are there any other PAX Early birds in town yet? We just got in and would like to meet up for drinks/apps later. If anyone is around hit me up, we're at the Sheraton and could go some where local.
